If it were striped it would have been found, I'm starting to think it may now be a VIN switch and still out there somewhere, or is in another state/country. California requires strict notifications on vehicles but other states are not as watchful. Who knows maybe in a year or two you'll get a call from BADCATS, OCAP or one of the other auto theft divisions that they found your truck. Sometimes they come back fixed up better than it was originally. Don't give up yet there's still a chance that it is out there and intact since it has yet to turn up striped.
